Self promotion
Hey everyone,
You might have read my posts earlier asking questions, buying/selling stuff etc etc. Today it will be different. I will try to shamelessly sell myself.
I am a professional web developer with 17 years of experience and starting out with self employment with my fried Paula Wilson who is from Waikato and a well established writer and writes for blogs, websites etc., in short all types of web content. I currently work full time for Serato, the only homegrown kiwi company with a global presence in music industry. I founded Rushlane.com, a successful startup in the automotive industry.
I can develop any type of web based systems i.e. brochure website, e-commerce solution, systems to automate your business processes like lead management, automated emails, invoice processing etc (very effective for tradies and service based businesses). I mean think web or mobile apps and I am pretty confident that I will be able to do it. I have good knowledge of online and social media marketing and happy to provide maintenance services too.
You will talk to a real person who is based here locally and will be doing all your work, not with a contractor who hires offshore staff to cut costs. I will provide fixed quote for a fixed scope of work. No job too big or too small.
I can provide references from kiwi companies, one of which is a leader in their domain and you might have already heard of them. I manage their business systems and online marketing.
Please feel free to connect or refer us to your friends. Our website butsnbytes.co.nz is still under development but you can always text or call me on 02108065533.
Thanks for reading my long shameless self promotion post.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.8% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.8% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.4% ... It is complicated

Late Summer Harvest!
Experience a sun-kissed day at Howick Historical Village, celebrating the last of summer's bounty. Explore how the season’s harvest was gathered, preserved, and enjoyed in the 1800s, before the season changed.
The end of summer was a time to enjoy long, warm, dry days but also to prepare before autumn crept in. Pantries were filled as food was preserved, boots were waterproofed, curtains rehung. Honey made by busy bees all summer, was extracted from the hives.
Join us to experience the gentle turning of the seasons, where work and pleasure met, and the closing days of summer were truly cherished! Churn cream into butter or attend a Victorian school lesson. See the blacksmiths and woodturners at work and learn the art of bookbinding. Meet the Village beekeeper in a talk at 2 pm. Taste fresh baking, hot from the coal range in Puhi Nui Homestead and the bread oven. Visit the sweet shop filled with old-fashioned lollies and fudge!
With games, crafts and performances by Morris dancers at 11:00 & 12:00, and the bagpipe band at 12 pm and plenty to entertain all ages, this will be a Live Day not to miss!
Admission: adult $18, student/senior $14, child $10, family $46. Child under 5 years, members & annual pass holders - free entry.
